HDMI issues? - Xoom General

So I went and bought the hdmi cable for my Xoom, and when I was playing back a mp4 video file the device and my tv kept flickering periodically off and then come back on with interupted sound as well> like it would freeze hiccup a couple times and resume playback and then 2 mins later it did it again. Anyone else experience this or know of a remedey? When I played back avi files it was smooth. I was using rockplayer lite. When Im not using hdmi playback is very smooth on the device itself

I guess everyone else's is working ok?

Try vital player

Slow audio in Flash

Using the most recent leaked 2.2, and going to m.flash.com and playing one of those sites, CNET TV for example, the video plays fine, but the audio lags behind and seems to be playing at 1/4 speed.
Anyone see this or know of a solution?
Yeah I had that issue I switched back to a custom Rom to resolve it. Once there is a few I might try the ota again

[INFO] (Updated) Temporary solution to HDMI problem (Blinking/flickering/lagging)

Some people are having problems when hooking up their HDMI connection to their tv so I thought I would share my findings.
Problems: Youtube keeps blinking, Moboplayer lags and blinks, ETC.
I had the same problem also. I originally thought it was the HDMI cable so I bought another one and tested it, same problem. So i decided to play around with it some more and may have found something.
Here is a temporary solution which I have found to make it work flawlessly:
1. Go to the market and download aDownloader. (It's a torrent program, don't worry, you won't be downloading anything)
2. Turn on the program and download a torrent, any torrent is fine and have that torrent run for a few seconds. Once that is done, pause the torrent. There should be a popup notification, please ignore that.
3. Hook up the HDMI and turn everything on, everything should be working 100%. You will not see the notification from aDownloader popup on your tv.
There will not be anying flickering or blinking or any lag with this method. I will be using this until a fix comes up hopefully with the next update.
Let me know if this works!
im not getting a popup from it. But, I like the program.
hm maybe because I'm using launcherpro? Not sure hope it works tho.
forgot to mention, did not work.

it's most likely the notification keeping the screen from flickering.
This would give duct tape a run for its money ....

Ok guys, i figured out why it's not working for you guys. I changed #2.
There was an extra step I noticed that was needed to make this work. All you have to do is download any torrent, either its a picture, music, video or anime file, have that torrent run for 1-2 seconds, then pause that torrent.
This should be working now.

My guess? The torrent app holds a wake lock while it's running and prevents the device from going to sleep.
yeah, didnt help at all. In fact the notification showed up on my TV. Flickering.
It could be the ratio of the tv, mines is on scan however it should be 16:9.
Has anyone figured this out I called ASUS and they had no known issues regarding this

I don't know if this is the right place for this but I have done a series of troubleshooting:
I ripped a few movies using DVD Catalyst (great program btw) to both my SAmsung 500GB usb hdd and the 16gb Class 6 Patriot micro sd card (same movie).
Played the video with HDMI (from the SD carc) on my TV using mobo and it was flickery and choppy and unviewable overall. Used the "movie" program and it viewed fine, although at a lower resolution (4:3) and quality, but viewable.
Tried the same thing with the USB HDD and worked perfect with mobo.
I have a stock TF with the latest updates as well as a new dock with the latest updates too.
I'm satisifed with the ability to use the usb hdd, but I'm just curious as to any thoughts on why the SD card didn't work... I also speed checked the sd card using H2testw_1.4 for the complete card (not just a short check) and it came back good, no problems or issues.
Thoughts?

HDMI & Flash Video

Does anyone know if we should be able to mirror while watching flash video in full screen? Has anyone successfully done it?
Thanks!
If by mirror you mean plug your xoom into a hmdi port on a tv, then yes you can. I was streaming an bbc iPlayer video stream using flash whilst connected to ky tv. I did this using the eos stingray rom. The hdmi support is awesome in ics. Significant audio improvement over and above honeycomb.

Does ice now support 1080p output over HDMI? I remember that when I tried it i
Over the summer it was only capable of 720p.

Thanks for the information.
Are you able to do this in full screen mode. When I press the player's button to expand the video yo full screen, I can no longer view the output. I can see the browser tabs at the top, the status bar at the bottom, but the video/audio foes dead. It's just a black screen where the video should be.
flash?
I have ics, and flash is a fail. I can watch in the small player, but click that full screen button.... freeze. Crackle don't work, only YouTube app will play full screen hdmi. On their site, HDMI sound no picture on either TV or tablet, but while playing unplug hdmi while in fullscreen then plug back in it works! Is there a solution as I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash several times? Would have figured they would have released a fix as its been over a month. Also I have to use stock browser as opera says I don't have flash

i have exactly the same problem on the JG nightlies.. any solution for this? videos are running fine but when i stream the flash videos full screen my application freezes.
On my Jellybean EOS HDMI mode mirrored the xoom screen, but I think it was only 720.

I noticed that i have to pull the hmdi cable, let the flash stream going full screen, then plug the hdmi cable again..
nevermind, works for me now
I have to plug in the HDMI cable into the TV, turn on my screen, plug it into my xoom, and it will show up on the TV immediately. Everything on my xoom is mirrored fine, but I have to keep my screen on or the TV loses the signal.

havent tested yet if it work with JB
Tested with JB on my xoom and worked great! Useful when watching a movie so the screen doesn't over heat or kill extra battery. Thanks for the link! For anyone else, it does need root to work.

I have the same issue, but it's fairly random, but I am playing videos from a SMB share. Sometimes I'll get through an hour before it quits, sometimes 5 minutes. This is using MX Player, Dice player, and Rockplayer. They all have the same issue. In my case, it could be an issue with the device retaining the connection to the SMB share.
Try dice player from the market, works really good!

some people have had issues with their tabs where video intense application start to freeze, crash or quit. A factory reset seems to be the trick to fix this. Yes, you lose all your data and have to start from scratch, but potentially no more issues.
This is not a guaranteed fix, but many people have had luck with it.

Using BS Player with no issues whatsoever playing h264 HD videos in hour-long intervals.
Do you happen to use Kaspersky? I’ve had a similar problem which disappeared after uninstalling Kaspersky!
Many intermittent pauses and crashes when watching videos over smb connection. Sometimes it will go for an hour or two with no problem, sometimes it's within a few minutes. Most often the tablet will reboot.
Pausing a video, then putting device into sleep mode, will always cause a reboot.
And, still not much luck in maximizing flash video playback, always crashes tablet in dolphin hd, or stock browser.

Video Playback Issues

Videos played by my nexus have an odd choppy feel. Every five seconds or so, the player pauses for a very noticeable moment, then continues. Is anyone else experiencing this?

No problems regarding smoothness.
The only problem I have is that nothing seems to have audio (using mxPlayer)

Is it a background app causing it? I read about a few phones having this issue in the past.

I'm on 4.1.1, not rooted and I've noticed the same problem. When playing a video or certain games every 5 seconds or so there is a slight pause. I've tried different video players and still the same issue.

Having the same issues but it seems to happen more with games especially tegra 3 games like a riptide. the funny thing is is I swear I remember playing riptide and It had no lag. I can't remember whether it was prior to the 4.11 update.
Same here! I tried watching the Transformer movie we got for free and it kept freezing up! This is irritating, I'm going to try a factory reset. I'm exchanging this thing any way cause the headphone jack is defective.
From my long awaited and totally worth it EVO LTE!
Same issue here after upgrading to 4.1.1. Anyone here having this issue on a custom ROM? If not then I'm flashing a ROM ASAP.

Try other video players (MX Player, BSPlayer)
Was this apparent before 4.1.1? I just got my 7 yesterday and updated right away and do notice the stutter w/ my high profile 720p vids. On my Prime stuttering was fixed with over clocking and running an interactive governer.
Edit: this is for 720p high profile movies stored on the device, happening w/ dice player and MX player. Don't use stock since it doesn't support ac3 audio.
stock n7 with latest ota updates, unlocked and rooted. No problem playing any game and video, either stream from play store (transformer movie) or stream my my home network.

It doesn't matter if it's on the device or not, it happens when I stream the transformer movie and/or any YouTube video. I'm about to return this back to Google if I don't find a solution soon. Going to try a data factory reset and see if that helps.

Yeah looks like its happening for me on YouTube as well.
I just put a video on my device from my PC and it played fine. But if I stream anything it plays like crap
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Did some more testing. Tried the stock player and no stutter but no sound due to no ac3 support. I have another 7 coming in on Monday and will test that one leaving it as is (before 4.1.1 update)
I just got off the phone with Google and they said it's probably a issue with my router streaming media on the device. I'm going to test another WiFi connection sometime soon and see if the issue persist or not.

I'm having problems with this, I can't watch a single video on this device without the lag. I've tried the youtube app, Netflix, dice player and a few other video apps and everyone of those lag.
